Hi all,
I have started lifting about 3 weeks ago and have tried to adjust my macros according to what seems to be generally accepted in the bodybuilding world of ~1gm protein/lb of bodyweight, 15-25% of calories from fat, and the rest carbs.
I previously followed a low-carb/high-fat diet and...

Hi there fellow trainers,
I’ve been training for about 7-8 months, and have been seing some great results, and haven’t been skinnyfat for a while. My problem right now, is that I changed my diet, not because it wasn’t working but because it wasn’t all that healthy (and i started to get stomache...

Hi, I have a question regarding sodium intake and weekly weigh ins and bulking.
If I have a day where I eat a higher amount of sodium then normal,will it make me heavier and therefore make me look as if I have gained muscle.
For example, say I’ve been eating 3000 calories for 1 week and...

i have been lifting for a while now but inconsistently I'm talking once a fortnight or 3 weeks so really I'm not a lifter I'm still effectively new to lifting if i started consistently lifting 4/5 days a week (also in a deficit) would i actually lose fat and build muscle at the same time (should...

Hey guys, this is no way a means to replace going to my doctor but I’m hoping someone else has experienced this and found a solution.

Hi everyone
I just got done with my high school wrestling season and I want to get visible abs (4-6 pack) and visible arm muscles. I don’t want to balloon up into some huge circular fat clump, but I want to build as much muscle as possible. I’m pretty sure that lean bulk is what I’m looking for,...
